We really don't have to use the term "passing" on a call given the definition of a foul/incidental contact:
Quote:
NF 4-19: A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with an opponent while the ball is live, which hinders an opponent from performing normal defensive and offensive movements.
2013-15 NCAAM & W 4-21-3: Contact that does not hinder the opponent from participating in normal defensive or offensive movements shall be considered incidental.

The first example is someone who wasn't hindered from performing/participating in normal defensive or offensive movement. By rule it isn't a foul.
